The Spider

Hello little fella! hanging down from the roof 
Idolizing brave knights quite similar your spoof

Oh going to weave again? Or it's just for fun?
Little feet you have, working under the bright sun

Running back and forth, driving professionally 
The transparent lines made by your work patiently

Finishing your web to become firm like a wall
Though many times to encounter error and fall

The center point of abode certainly transform
Quirky wall especially in night ready to form

Calling the attention of your favorite meal
Uncomfortable gun target the prey to kill

Your strange beauty tailoring your suitors to loom
An angelic quietness of yours preparing their tomb

The pure work, modest tricks obtain your victory
But move amiss, foes eat you complimentary

Working hard endlessly can't stop the wind and rain
Your brave spirit and entire strength ignore the pain

This is one reason I didn't enter this contest. Anything I could offer is far outclassed by your fine work... I live to compete another day... Congratulations .... Jake

There are many messages in the Spider. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it. I could have re-arranged it so it would appear more like a couplet. I just happened to copy it that way.

I would change that very last line to: "By your brave spirit and entire strength, ignore the pain". This was a very enjoyable piece, nonetheless. :)
